Environment, public health PhD. I love cities, birds and music. I’m mostly around #yyj biking with my family, caring a lot about housing and the toxic drug crisis, and singing tenor in a choir. Genderqueer. The Olive Ridley is a sea turtle!
Also think the city should figure out how to bill the involuntary police tax it does not control separately from the actual services and amenities it controls

I'm glad for this program, childhood trauma is awful, sorry :( I go through bouts of early wake insomnia related to procrastination anxiety, and thankfully, as I grow older and wiser, I've gotten better at practicing the tools I use to both deal with it when it happens and address root cause

MSP covers CBT for insomnia if taken synchronously online. I'm just a few sessions in but it's been wildly revelatory for me, including how my insomnia come from childhood trauma.
Yay 4 public health!

Yeah, I complained about this to them when they canceled, but obviously there's no voice for transit users at BC Transit, and no mechanism other than their so called "feedback surveys" to actually influence their decision making

I spent a weekend in the area, and Amsterdam was just overwhelming and not enjoyable, I had much better luck with Utrecht, where the biking was epic, everything was walkable and a whole lot quieter and you could see all of it. And then you could just train to Amsterdam in 45 mins
